This Is This

Woah, reader, woah. I seem to have opened a can of worms with the Nigella thing. Worm remoulade with a rasberry coulis and orange zest, but a can of worms none the less. Vers en boite, perhaps.

Two things I love about this site.

First, you never know what’s going to get people talking. Whether it’s hairy sexbomb but irritating chefs or socks in the cat bowl.

Second, it’s always great to get comments, challenging or otherwise.

I have to concede that maybe her recipes do work. When you can do something, it’s easy to say, “give it a slosh of this”. I am rubbish at explaining the things I can do well. Strangely, I can get people up to my scratch at the things at which I am not so great.

Happy New Year, too. My New Year’s Eve was great. Friends, champagne, beer, Laphroaig and friends, then amazing coffee and baclava for breakfast and a beautiful drive home on a crisp winter morning before the rest of the world emerged. Even the Thames, steaming and lapping the top of its banks, seemed to be swelling with possibility.

Resolutions - I’m a big fan of them - will be posted tomorrow, and yes I see the irony in that.

But they will follow, and hopefully so will I. Cheers all.

In 1991, we released 7 billion shareholders. They weren’t hugely sexy. Some will die. Mistakes happen, but the price is very high. It’s a challenge to us all.
